Dido Harding, Chief Executive of TalkTalk, explained that the broadband provider established the awards because it believes the internet "can truly make Britain better off".

"We are proud to have provided funding and support to so many Digital Heroes across the country who are working tirelessly to benefit their local community and look forward to seeing who this year's heroes are," she stated.

Baroness Lane-Fox said she is "always humbled" by the amazing heroes that shine at the awards.

"It is a rare platform for them to have their work recognised, championed and supported," she stated.

"The projects take all shapes and sizes but are united by their vision to use technology for good and spearhead digital skills within communities across the UK."
